Definitions
- the present invention relates to a tubing section coupling and particularly to an apparatus and method for connecting tubing section tubulars.
- tubing sections are assembled by screwing one length of tubular into the end of another length of tubular.
- the tubulars are normally connected one at a time and lowered down into the well.
- There may be situations in which it is not desirable to rotate one of the tubulars because, for example, electric cables or hydraulic lines are secured to the tubular, these cables or lines also being attached to equipment remaining on the rig. Rotation of this tubular could damage the cables or lines.
- a tubing section coupling comprising; a first tubular portion; and a second tubular portion having an external surface adapted to slidingly engage an internal surface defined by the first tubular portion, the first and second tubular portions being axially restrained by means of a fixing device adapted to releasably connect the first and second tubular portions together; wherein the first and second tubular portions each define a profile, the profiles adapted to be connected to rotationally restrain the tubular portions.
- the first and second tubular portions are both axially and rotationally restrained with respect to each other.
- Such an arrangement provides improved torsional stability for the tubing section coupling and shows that minimal rotation of the tubular portions is required to make an axially and rotationally restrained connection.
- first and second tubular portion profiles are engaged directly to each other.
- first and second tubular portion profiles are indirectly connected to each other.
- tubular portion profiles are indirectly connected through a connecting element.
- the connecting element may comprise metal.
- the tubular portion profiles may be castellations. Castellated profiles can be used to provide a secure and reliable connection between the first and second tubular portions.
- tubular portion profiles may be angled teeth.
- tubular portion profiles may be an at least one key and an at least one associated keyway or any other suitable engagement profile.
- the connecting element may have a first surface for engaging the first tubular portion profile and a second surface for engaging the second tubular portion profile.
- the first and second tubular portion profiles may be non-complementary.
- one or both of the tubular portions may have to be rotated to align the profiles.
- a relative rotation of up to 36 Q may be required to align the tubular portion profiles.
- Having different first and second tubular portion profiles connected by a connecting element can reduce the relative rotation required to connect the tubular portions.
- the first tubular portion profile may comprise five castellations and the second tubular portion profile may comprise seven castellations.
- a connecting element with a first surface defining a profile complementary to the first tubular portion profile and a second surface defining a profile complementary to the second tubular portion profile, can reduce the amount of rotation which must be applied to one or other of the tubular portions to allow the profiles to be mated with the connecting element to rotationally restrain the tubulars.
- the connecting element is connected to, for example, the second tubular portion profile in the position which minimises the rotation necessary to the first tubular portion to connect the first tubular portion profile with the connecting element.
- first tubular portion profile may be castellated and the second tubular portion profile may be toothed.
- the connecting element will have a castellated first surface complementary to the first tubular portion profile and a toothed second surface complementary to the second tubular portion profile.
- the coupling is arranged such that only one of the tubular portions need be rotated to be coupled to the other tubular portion.
- the tubular portion to be rotated has a profile comprising fewer castellations, recesses, teeth or the like than the profile of the other tubular portion.
- the greater the number of castellations, recesses, teeth or the like on the profile of the stationary tubular portion increases the number positions which the connecting element can be located on the stationary tubular.
- the greater the number of possible positions of the connecting element the greater the chances of there being one in which the non- engaged connecting element surface is aligned, or is nearly aligned, with the tubular portion which can be rotated, minimising the amount of rotation necessary to couple the tubular portions together.
- both tubular portions can be rotated. This arrangement reduces the amount of rotation required for each tubular to connect the tubular portions.
- At least one of the first and second tubular portion profiles may be defined by an end of the tubular portion.
- At least one of the first and second tubular portion profiles may be defined by an external surface of the tubular portion.
- At least one of the first and second tubular portion profiles may be defined by an internal surface of the tubular portion.
- the first tubular portion profile is defined by an end of the first tubular portion and the second tubular portion profile is defined by an external surface of the second tubular portion such that when the first and second tubular portions are fully engaged, the second tubular portion profile is adjacent the end of the first tubular portion.
- the fixing device is associated with one of the first and second tubular portions and adapted to be releasably connected to the other of the first and second tubular portions
- the fixing device is releasably connected to the other of the first and second tubular portion by means of a threaded connection.
- the threaded connection engages an external surface of the other tubular portion.
- the fixing device is connected to the second tubular portion and engages a thread defined by an external surface of the first tubular portion.
- the fixing device may be a collar.
- the fixing device is adapted to draw the tubular portions together to from a seal.
- the seal is a metal-to-metal seal.
- the second tubular portion defines a radially extending shoulder for restricting axial movement of the collar in at least one direction.
- the shoulder prevents the collar dropping off the end of the second tubular portion as the second tubular is lowered into engagement with the first tubular portion.
- the shoulder may also define the second tubular portion profile.
- One or both of the tubular portions may be releasably attached to one or more tubulars.
- tubular portions may be integral with a tubular.
- a method of coupling tubulars comprising; slidingly engaging an internal surface defined by a first tubular portion with an external surface defined by a second tubular portion; axially restraining the first and second tubular portions together by releasably connecting a fixing device the first and second tubular portions; and rotationally restraining the first and second tubular portions by connecting a first tubular portion profile with a second tubular portion profile.
- the rotationally restraining step may further comprise rotating one or other of the first and second tubular portions to connect the first tubular portion profile with the second tubular portion profile.
- the method may further include the step of connecting the first tubular portion profile with the second tubular portion profile by means of a connecting element.
- the method may further comprise the step of axially translating the fixing device with respect to one of the first and second tubular portions to releasably connect the collar to the other of the first and second tubular portions.
- the method may further comprise the step of engaging a connecting element surface with one of the first or second tubular portion profiles before engaging the other of the first or second tubular portion profiles with another connecting element surface.
- the method further comprises the step of forming a metal- to-metal seal between the tubular portions.
- Figure 1 is a section view of a tubing section coupling according to an embodiment of the present invention
- Figure 2 is a partial section view of the tubing section coupling of
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of the tubing section coupling of Figure 1 ;
- Figure 4 is a close up of detail A of Figure 3 with the collar removed; and Figure 5 is an enlarged perspective view of the connecting element of the coupling of Figure 1.
- the coupling 10 is coupled a first tubular 12 and to a second tubular 14 to form a tubing section 16.
- the purpose of the coupling 10 is to couple the tubulars 12 and 14 together with minimal rotation of the tubulars 12,14 during coupling.
- the coupling 10 comprises a first tubular portion 18 and a second tubular portion 20.
- the second tubular portion 20 has a polished external surface 22 adapted to slidingly engage a polished internal surface 24, defined by the first tubular portion 18.
- the tubular portions 18,20 are axially restrained by means of a collar 26 associated with the second tubular portion 20 and releasably connected to the first tubular portion 18 by means of a threaded connection 29.
- the first tubular portion 18 further defines a castellated profile 28.
- the second tubular portion 20 also defines a castellated profile 30, the castellated profiles 28,30 being connected by means of a metal connecting element 32 to rotationally restrain the tubular portions.
- the connecting element 32 comprises a first surface 34 defining seven castellations for engaging with the first tubular portion profile 28 and a second surface 36 defining five castellations for engaging the second tubular portion profile 30.
- the first and second connecting element surfaces 34,36 are designed to be complementary to their respective tubular portion profile 28,30 as can be seen from Figures 2 and 4. The reason the first and second tubular portion profiles 28,30 are different will be discussed in due course.
- the first tubular profile 28 is defined by an end 38 of the first tubular portion 18 whereas the second tubular portion profile 30 is defined by a shoulder 40 extending radially outward from the second tubular portion 20 ( Figures 1 , 2 and 4).
- the shoulder 40 also prevents the collar 26 from sliding off the end of the second tubular portion 20.
- the operation of the tubing section coupling 10 will now be described.
- the first tubular 12 and the first tubular portion 18 are torqued together and form the upper end of a tubing string 16.
- the connecting element 32 is then placed on the first tubular portion 18 in one of the seven possible orientations (related to the seven castellations of the first tubular portion profile 28).
- the preferred orientation is the one which most closely aligns the second connecting element surface 36 with the profile 30 of the second tubular portion 20.
- the second tubular portion 20 and the second tubular 14 (which are torqued together) are then lowered onto the connecting element 32 and, if necessary, rotated slightly until the second tubular portion profile 30 is aligned and engagable with the connecting element second surface 36.
- the collar 26 is then rotated to make the threaded connection 29 with the first tubular portion 18. As the collar 26 cannot travel beyond the shoulder 40 the two tubular portions 18,20 pulled together into a tight engagement such that their respective polished surfaces 22,24 form a metal-to-metal seal. Once the threaded connection 29 has been fully made, the first tubular portion 18 is axially and rotationally restrained to the second tubular portion 20.
- first tubular portion profile and the second tubular portion profile could be complementary and directly engagable without the need for a connecting element.
- profiles of the connecting element and the first and second tubular portions are shown as castellations, any suitable profile could be used which prevents the relative rotation of the first and second tubular portions once the coupling is made up.
